Yes, paywall. Go to google and search for this: "Soylent CEO charged over illegal, 'unsightly' container home in Montecito Heights" or try going to https://www.google.com/#q=%22Soylent+CEO+charged+over+illegal%2C+%27unsightly%27+container+home+in+Montecito+Heights%22 https://www.google.com/#q=%22Soylent+CEO+charged+over+illega... then view first result. EDIT: I just learned about the 'web' link under the title. Clicking that will take you to google with the same link I mentioned above.

Please don't comment on the paywall.[1] The "web" link under the title on the discussion page does exactly the same thing your search link does; there is no need to 'Google' things for the rest of us.

  re:[1], I can't find anything regarding "pay", "wall" or "paid" on that page. What exactly are you referring to?

    The paywall issue has been discussed a number of times, and dang has ruled that paywalls should not be discussed in comments. I believe that the relevant rule is: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.)"

      For the record, I was not complaining about there being a paywall, just informing others that there was one. And for the record here are dang's comments pertaining to paywalls: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 "It's ok to ask how to read an article or to help other users by sharing a workaround. But please do this without going on about paywalls." Sorry I wasn't aware of the new 'web' link feature.

        It's really not a particularly new feature, and I swear its existence pops up every time a paywalled article is posted. Lurk more?

  I was unaware of the new 'web' link feature. "The "web" link under the title on the discussion page does exactly the same thing your search link does" would have been sufficient. The second half of your comment comes off as snarky.
